Self-Harming Therapists in Oxford, NC

Things are hard right now. You're here because you want things to be different and don't quite know how to make that happen. I want to help you feel hopeful, powerful, and in control of your life. I want to help you heal. Whether you're feeling pain from trauma/abuse, engaging in behaviors that are no longer working for your life (self-harming, risky behaviors, disordered eating), or struggling with relationships, I can help. I have a person-centered approach so I can meet you at your current point in life and support you in reaching your goals.

I am experienced with adolescents, disabled veterans, homeless individuals and families, developmentally disabled adults, Individuals, Couples, Teens,Children, and Families of trauma. Treatment includes Group Home settings, Residential Treatment Facilities, In-Patient, homeless shelters, and in the family home I am a certified a Trauma Specialist, I've received training in Gambling addiction, and have completed several hours in Transactional Analysis/Re-decision Therapy at the South East Institute in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I have been trained in Sexual Offender Treatment and Assessment with upcoming Certification 2016.

I treat clients who have a history of trauma and/or eating concerns. Maybe this resonates with you. Perhaps your trauma manifested in maladaptive behaviors, like cutting, an eating disorder, or risk behaviors. You have lost the ability to tune into your body and need help reconnecting with your body's wisdom. Using mindfulness, EMDR, and other body-based interventions, I can help you process trauma and develop healthy coping skills to replace the ones that cause you pain.

We believe in the client being the expert on what they need and the power of the therapeutic relationship. We believe in partnering with the client to foster healing, introspection, and growth. We are enthusiastically committed to helping people holistically—integrating mind, body, and spirit. We will work together to develop your short and long-term goals and to continue this collaboration throughout our work together. We utilize an eclectic approach to meet the therapeutic needs of each client. We serve adolescents (15-17), adults (18+), couples, and families. We bring an array of experience to ensure your needs are met.

Anyone can benefit from taking a step away from the chaos and spending some time listening to the help their bodies are asking for. Through soothing and tactile sessions such as painting and sand, calming music and a lot of plants, let's work on what is causing the anger, not just find coping techniques. Why we are self-harming and what are other ways to manage? What is the root of the family fights? Parents, let's find something different to do because yelling and crying does not feel good and it is not working. Come as you are, and you will be welcomed. I embrace all with a warm heart, an open ear and with hot chocolate :)

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counseling Associate with Krippa Family Psychological & Wellness Services. While I do have a 24-year background working with families and children in the stages of early childhood, in this role, I hope to continue working with people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds. I specialize in working with children (ages 2+), adolescents, and women, struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, low-self-esteem, ADHD, ASD, suicidal ideations, self-harming behaviors, emotional and mood dysregulation, as well as interpersonal relationship and social skill difficulties.

One of my favorite mantras is "I can only get better when I accept myself as I am, where I have been, and where I am going!" I am passionate in my work. One of my main goals is to see you thrive. I want to aid you in your journey to better mental health. My therapeutic style is very laid back, and you will be the driving for in your treatment.

I primarily work with adolescents/young adults going through a variety of problems (depression, anxiety, substance abuse, etc). Over the years I have specialized in working with teens who are self-harming and having a difficult time adjusting to life's stressors. I do not work with just the adolescent/child. I feel it is a family issue that must be addressed by helping the entire family unit build supports and effective coping mechanisms together to move forward in a healthy manner. I specialize in working with Borderline Personality Disorder.

Are you feeling constantly stressed and overwhelmed? Unfulfilled? Lonely or disconnected from others? Is anxiety, perfectionism, or people pleasing causing you to doubt yourself? It may feel like an enormous weight to balance all of life's expectations. You’re managing...sort of...but your coping skills and self-care strategies just aren’t cutting it these days. You want something to change but you're stuck and not sure where to start. I GET It. There has never been a more challenging time to be a teen girl or young adult woman. Your desire for better relationships, improved self-worth, and more life balance is WHY I am here!

Life can often be overwhelming. Recognizing the signs that you may need someone to talk to or help you navigate the obstacles is an amazing accomplishment. I applaud you for taking the first step!

I work well with clients who have previously found therapy to be lacking. While my clients typically find sessions enjoyable, I also push for each person with whom I work to utilize learned skills throughout the week! Life changes require effort but I also understand that it's hard to make significant changes when every moment feels like slogging through molasses. I tend to be more involved as a therapist than some, which is a choice born out of my own life experiences. Sometimes people don't have a fully-developed support system to help support them as they begin to make healthier choices. If that's the case for you, get in touch.

My ideal client is a young person eager to explore personal issues in a safe and confidential setting with a seasoned counselor. This client would interact online or in-person with the hope of receiving professional support and encouragement to address their individual concerns. This client would welcome feedback and demonstrate the desire for personal growth.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, behavioral issues (your own or your child's), career confusion, relationship issues, setting and reaching your personal goals, or finding the path you want to build yourself toward - this relationship will work. If you want to grow as an individual and be met where you are at any moment - this will work. Your ideas and experiences are yours. You can learn from them, stay with them, and/or move on from them - I will be here through that journey. I want all clients to know that my space is truly open and without judgment. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you.
